Hand hold - DH likely to die in next few days

[Bahemoth]

My DH went to hospital a month ago with seizures that wouldn’t stop. He was resistant to all medication so they had to put him in an induced coma on ICU to try and stop them and reduce swelling on the brain. This last option hadn’t worked, as they don’t know the underlying cause for the seizures and they’ve now told me he’s unlikely to survive.

We have two young children and I’m not sure how I can face life without him or how I would break the news to DS9 when the time comes. My other child is 4. I’m in bits, he’s only 39 and was fit and healthy before this.

So sorry to hear this, here's a handhold. x

No words but another handhold for the miracle.

I am so sorry to hear this OP. Post on here, any time, night or day for support. I will pray hard that it doesnt happen x

Holding your hand and hoping that this new therapy works.

Praying for you, your husband and your children op. I’m so sorry this is happening to you.

Praying for you, OP.

Praying with absolutely everything in me that it works and your husband pulls through this. Your post has had me in tears at my desk. Fucking life can be so cruel.

Whatever happens, I wish you and your children all the love and strength in the world.

Thinking of you and your children and hoping the miracle happens.

Sending you love strength and a handhold
I'm so sorry

Sending huge hugs and love thinking of you all,hope the treatment works, sending strength and love xxxx

This is horrendous. I am so sorry.

Another one praying that they 'crack the code' and figure out how to treat your DH.

Sending strength and love. I hope the immune therapy will work. ❤️

I will also pray hard for you OP, this must be unbearable, I’m so sorry.

Sending wishes and hand holds that the treatment works x

Please don't listen to this OP.
I've spent over 30 years in the NHS and my
DC is an ICU nurse, they do everything they possibly can to treat people, where there is even the slimmest chance of recovery.
Your DH is only young and I promise they will not just give up on him because they want a bed.

Praying for a miracle, OP. They can and do happen. Praying for you and DC too.

Praying for a miracle xxxx

Hand hold from me, too. Wishing, hoping and praying for a miracle for you and your family. X

Really sorry OP, very much hope the autoimmune therapy works and your husband will recover. Sending love and a handhold to you and your children ❤️

Fingers crossed for you Op, hope the treatment and time will help your DH come through this. 💐

Really hoping the new treatment works. Sounds like they’re trying everything. It’s awful when they don’t know the cause/reason as it feels like they’re fighting blind.

Many years ago a colleagues brother had similar symptoms. It was treated with chemotherapy - possibly that’s the same as the autoimmune therapy? Sorry, I’m not medical.
so sorry you’re going through this

Can I echo this? In my experience, everything is tried until there is no hope, and frankly, even beyond no hope in case something does work. Sometimes it's direct treatments, and other times it's buying time to allow the body to heal. There is never a decision to 'free up beds'.

I am praying for you and your children, OP, and that you have a miracle over the next couple of days. xx
